Hey, I would be careful with just using simple acrylics cause to 90% they will crack. You can check out our very first tutorial "How to create a bloody hand" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtZjhLll2rucY5c.html. We did´t use FX Gelatin in this one but the principle is the same. If you need materials maybe check this out: Make Up: www.amazon.com/Grimas-Water-Face-Paint-Palette/dp/B00LFOVVUI/ref=pd_sim_sbs_194_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41jVOHMLfWL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR115%2C160_&refRID=19W13NRR3GWB879402A1 (I would recommend water-based makeup cause you can wash it of much easier than oil-based) Fixing Powder: www.amazon.com/Grimas-Fixing-Powder-transparent-water-repellent/dp/B01D0SGH1Y?ie=UTF8&keywords=fixing%20powder%20grimas&qid=1465500462&ref_=sr_1_cc_2_a_it&s=aps&sr=1-2-catcorr (they are quite expensive since they are from the Netherlands) But if you want to pre paint it like in the tree bark tutorial. Take acrylic paint and mix it with a bit of PROS AIDE: www.amazon.com/Pros-Aide-Original-Adhesive-oz-Tronics/dp/B011M4QBX2?ie=UTF8&keywords=pros%20aide&qid=1465500953&ref_=sr_1_4_s_it&s=beauty&sr=1-4 (use alcohol to clean the brush) That should do the job. Hope it was a bit helpful. :)

Hey, honestly we never used our prosthetics in these kind of conditions but I would guess it won't melt on your face like a bar of chocolate. The only thing that might happen depending on ... how long you're wearing it, how long it will be exposed directly to the sun and how well it was applied etc. ... is that it will get pretty sticky and maybe it won't hold on to the skin that well anymore cause it gets hot and sweaty under the gelatin so it might come of quicker. I would recommend: take a small fan with you and keep it cool and dry as long as possible. And keep yourself or your actor as cool and dry as possible. And please let me know if I just told you bulls**t right now in case your prosthetic melted in 3 sec. after you stepped outside :D Than I´m really really sorry. But like I said can't tell you for sure cause we never used fx gelatin in these kind of conditions.

Good question. Im n texas as well and its so hot.

Gelatin sets when cold 15°C/60°F and melts at 25°C-40°C/77°F-104°F. So if it stays in range it should okay to stay on your skin. The big enemy besides heat is probably your sweat.

+Aurora Angulo Hi, have you seen the "Gelatin Prosthetic" Tutorial (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNZjg7teuJ-XZIk.html) ? The prosthetic we made in this tutorial is still in our office and looks perfect. (since 5 months) If the FX gelatin is hard you can keep it for a long time. You can always reheat it to mold something new but like I already said as soon as the gelatin is hard you can keep it for a long time. Would love to see the project. You can send a picture if you want to. Good luck !!!

Danny trova whip up latex with a hand mixer, then once it's in the mold place it in the oven on warm

But be careful. Don't mix it up with your kitchen mixer and don't bake it in your kitchen oven. You should use an extra mixer and an extra oven cause that stuff is toxic and you shouldn't use the gear with any food after using it with the latex. And usually you add a bit more than just latex like foam agent, gel agent and cure agent. But since we don't have those ingredients and won't get them any time soon, we won't be able to do a tutorial on that. Sorry! But there are a lot of tutorials or recipes on the internet so research a little and just try it out. Good Luck :D

At point 2.31 in video put it back in the microwave (8 seconds at a time) until it has melted again then add a drop or 2 of washing up liquid then whisk. It will increase in volume due to the air by up to 2 thirds. Pop it in fridge or freezer to set again. When you want to use it just re-melt in microwave and use it in the mold the same way you would normal gelatin. This is foam gelatin NOT latex it will act the same as a gelatin prosthetic but will be lighter

While ammonia is toxic in high concentration, it is also a gas and will not contaminate your oven. You might ruin your mixer if you don't clean it up soon after use, though.

+SpecialFx Nerds oh perfect..... thaaaank youuu :)

Punki80 ich bin der Meinung du kannst das 1-2 Tage vorher machen. Solltest du auch. :) und die Gelantine wird sehr elastisch ,dass ist also glaube ich nicht das Problem

Vielen Dank, das Event ist schon vorbei, hab am Schluss dann doch Latexpaste genommen, aber danke für die Hilfe :)!

PHeMoX try to get it from the baking section in your local store

I picked up vegetable glycerin at the healthfood store.

Glycerin changes gelatin into a sort of plastic so it doesn't grow bacteria it lasts quite a while...

Paint, not pain

sure you can use it

have you tried it? does it work? because i just had the same idea! xD

You can lay foundation over it :) also SpecialFX nerds, you suggested craft paint.. NEVER use craft paint when its going onto the skin, it can cause severe reactions and is not skin safe

I'm wondering the same thing

Good question.. agar powder or irish moss... maybe can be substituted

There is no latex involved here.

did you even watch the video?

it's gets foamy when heated, just remove the foam after heating it up and that's it :3

sfx means special effects, it's for special effects make up like making scars and stuff

Depends on how you mix it together. It doesn't rip to easy but you have to be a bit careful with it.

What kind of gelatin are you using? is it powder ? You have to make sure that you put it into the microwave bevor you use it for the first time. Let me know if you still have problems after doing all that. :)

Michelle Stratton i experience the same problem. It won't get solid, i put at the ricecooker because i don't have microwave home.

you can use the stove, fill a pot with water and put a tiny container inside with the gelatin mix.If it doesnt get hard you might be using the wrong gelatin.

kim Bijlsma yes

Charlotte Kurash Are you sure? Can I try agar agar?

Yes you can use plant based gelatin 😊

There's vegan gelatin (Vegetable Gelatin) And it does work on the stove but you'll have to fill a pot with water and put the container with the gelatin on top

@@BartenderSarah glycerin is edible

Spirit gum :) you can also smooth the edges with liquid latex

just melt it and mold it onto the body part you want it on, it sticks onto you by itself when its melted

What if I have a part that I want to put onto my skin, but don't want to melt too much? Can I use a hairdryer to melt just the back surface? Or should I apply a layer of molten gelatin?

XD

I'm doing it right now >:D

@@Tommo020788 how did this turn out?

DIY Fleshlight

Hey, we made this tutorial about 11 months ago and we still have the exact same gelatin and its not moldy or anything like this. So it does last pretty long. :)

Does it dry out?
